spells out what your registration fee includes.

conference@ramacharit.org requesting for an accommodation, but there is no reply.

We are sorry that we do not have resources to make the accommodation
arrangement. Information will be posted on the web about arrangements
that we have made. You need to contact directly.
11. Will you arrange transportation for me from railway
station (or airport) to hotel?
Probably not. Bangalore is a large city. It is hard to
manage such logistics.
PROGRAMME SCHEDULE
12. I wanted to present three papers, but you are allowing
only two. Why?
We have received so many papers that we have to "ration"
it, and therefore we are limiting it to no more than 2 papers

We expect to provide about 20 minutes, including time for
Q&A.
14. Will the LCD projector be
available for PPT presentation?
YES.

Please send a request to us immediately
and we will try to see if we can accommodate your interest.
Naturally, the students cannot chair sessions.

We expect it to be ready at least two weeks before the conference
and post it on the web. Once the schedule is posted, it
is almost impossible to make any changes.
